Upon our arrival we quickly located our accommodations, very near the Cathedral in the center of the old town. Our very small room had a balcony over the street with a fantastic view of the Cathedral and opening of square in front of the church. First on our agenda was to get confirmation of our accomplishment, a Compostella. This part of the journey is the most dull, waiting in line for over an hour with smelly pilgrims, before the office closes at 7 pm to get the official document

(A Compostella is written in Latin and loosely translated it is a document that states that the person named therein has come out of a pious motivation to the Cathedral in Santiago to revere the remains of St. James.)
